Welcome to learning English
00:28:51
a daily 30 minute program from the Voice
of America Jonathan Evans and I'm
00:28:57
Ashley Thompson this program is aimed
at English learners so we speak
00:29:03
a little slower and we use words and phrases
especially written for people learning
00:29:10
English. Today on the program
00:29:17
you will hear from people Musto Dorothy
Gandhi and Alice Bryant later we will
00:29:23
present our American history
series The Making of
00:29:27
a nation. But 1st here is
Pete Musto. In October
00:29:33
26th Tina the head of Russia's
largest oil company traveled to the
00:29:40
birthplace of. The former
president of Venezuela.
00:29:46
Rosenau aft Chief Executive Officer
Igor say Chen brought with him
00:29:52
a singing group from Moscow to
celebrate the presentation of
00:29:57
a huge statue of the former
leader Chavez had died 3 years
00:30:04
earlier say Chin's visit marked
00:30:07
a turning point in the relationship
between Russia and Venezuela he spoke to
00:30:14
a crowd of government supporters in Spanish
which he learned in his days working
00:30:21
for the Soviet military in
Africa we have no choice between
00:30:28
victory or death said sation
repeating the words of
00:30:33
a Venezuelan independence hero he
was describing the deepening ties
00:30:39
between Russia and Venezuela in their
competition with the United States
00:30:46
we must achieve victory he said now
the us government wants to break up
00:30:53
that growing partnership as part of its
campaign to remove Chavez's replacement
00:31:01
Nicolas Maduro earlier this month the u.s.
00:31:05
Treasury Department barred American
companies from doing business with the rose
00:31:11
next trading s.
00:31:12
. It accused the company the
subsidiary of Russia's state owned oil
00:31:19
business of supporting.
As he seeks to avoid u.s.
00:31:25
Sanctions for months u.s.
00:31:29
Officials have been warning foreign companies
that they could face action if they
00:31:35
continue to do business with Madeira and
his government those warnings have been
00:31:42
directed mainly at Russia. The u.s.
00:31:46
Government made it illegal for Americans
to buy crude oil from Venezuela
00:31:52
a year ago and government officials
say Russia has processed about
00:31:59
70 percent of Venezuelan oil
sales since that time Francisco
00:32:06
is
00:32:07
a Venezuelan oil expert at Rice
University in Houston Texas he told
00:32:14
the Associated Press the latest actions
should cause concern among companies in
00:32:20
countries that continue to partner with
00:32:24
a Venezuelan state
operated oil company p s
00:32:29
a the Us action could also
lead to the ending of
00:32:34
a special license for Chevron
the permit has so far kept the
00:32:40
California based company from having
to pull out of Venezuela Chevron
00:32:47
is
00:32:48
a partner in joint operations
with. A Together they
00:32:55
are responsible for about
00:32:57
a 4th of Venezuela's
total oil production in
00:33:02
a statement vs
00:33:04
a condemned the us government for
what it called economic assassination
00:33:11
aimed at taking control of Venezuela's
oil industry foreign minister
00:33:18
Jorge Arriaga said the new actions
would support Venezuela's case
00:33:25
against the administration of u.s.
00:33:28
President Donald Trump Venezuela is
accusing the administration of crimes
00:33:34
against humanity and is taking the case
to the International Criminal Court.
00:33:41
Rose NAFTA operates several
oil fields with p.d.
00:33:45
Vs say that it has controlled since Chavez's
government forced us companies out of
00:33:52
the country but oil experts say that
as the new go to supplier of the
00:33:58
country's crude oil supplies
Rose NAFTA wins 2 ways 1st
00:34:05
rose NAFTA buys Venezuela's
high quality mat a 16 crude at
00:34:11
a greatly reduced cost it then
uses money from sales of mad
00:34:17
a $16.00 to pay down 6500000000
dollars lent to p.d.
00:34:23
Vs say since 2014 for the purchase
of Russian made weaponry and other
00:34:30
goods to avoid problems for
buyers in China and India Rose
00:34:37
NAFTA has been using oil transport ships
that try to hide what they are carrying
00:34:44
they turn off their required tracking
systems and carry out risky ship
00:34:51
to ship exchanges off the coast
of West Africa and other areas in
00:34:58
the short term Francisco expects Monday
or oh we'll have to pay more to find
00:35:05
someone else to take on the added
risk of moving the country's oil that
00:35:12
means Venezuela will have even less money
to import food and medical supplies
00:35:18
or repair its failing electricity
infrastructure and with storage
00:35:25
centers already full
production that is already at
00:35:29
a 70 year low is likely to fall
even further he added still
00:35:36
nobody expects oil sales from Venezuela
to dry up completely. That is
00:35:43
unless the u.s.
00:35:44
Navy blocks all of the country's
ports the trumpet ministration has
00:35:50
refused to deny it will do so but
has shown no sign of taking that
00:35:57
action the United States leads
00:36:00
a group of now nearly 60 nations
that recognize Venezuelan opposition
00:36:07
leader won quite doe as the
country's rightful leader the group
00:36:13
considers Maduro's 2018
reelection illegal in turn
00:36:20
Russia has accused the Trump administration
of spreading false information to
00:36:27
engineer and overthrow of the
government Richard nephew is an energy
00:36:34
research or at Columbia University
in New York he helped design the
00:36:40
u.s.
00:36:41
Sanctions policy while at the State Department
during the presidency of Barack Obama
00:36:48
nephew sad by not dealing with Rose NAFTA
itself and only going after one of its
00:36:55
many parts the effect on
Russia's continued support from
00:37:00
a Daryl will likely be
limited This seems more like
00:37:06
a warning shot designed to look bigger
than it actually is he noted it's
00:37:12
shooting someone who is Russian sounding
without really punishing the Russians
00:37:18
themselves several pro Putin
lawmakers were dismissive of the
00:37:25
trumpet ministrations efforts they said
they would appeal to the World Trade
00:37:31
Organization to remove what
they described as unlawful u.s.
00:37:37
Actions. I think this issue can be
resolved the leddy mayor to jabber of

parliament told our a novos t.v.
00:37:50
News agency they're smart over there

00:37:57
a way to get around it I'm
Dorothy Gandhi and I'm Musto.
00:38:28
Hi everyone today let's
start the program with
00:38:32
a question What is your city
famous for making I'll tell you
00:38:39
my answer New York is famous
for making great pizza Here's
00:38:46
another question that follows the same
structure what are you excited about
00:38:53
learning I hope your answer is how to
make sentences that use adjectives
00:38:59
followed by propositions and Jaron that
is the topic of today's every day grammar
00:39:06
program without even realizing
it you may already know several
00:39:12
adjectives that use this sentence
structure let's look at 3 of them today
00:39:19
interested excited and bored
now listen to 2 sentences that
00:39:26
use the adjective bored and think
about which sounds more natural
00:39:32
Noemi was bored of doing the same
job Noemi was bored to do the same
00:39:39
job. Hopefully the 1st sentence
sounds more natural to you
00:39:46
if so your ears are probably accustomed
to hearing the structure we are exploring
00:39:52
today b.
00:39:54
Plus adjective plus proposition
plus Jr and in the sentence
00:40:01
was is the verb of being bored
is the adjective of is the
00:40:07
proposition and doing is the Geron
and you may remember that a Geron is
00:40:14
a verb form that ends
and i n g and acts as
00:40:18
a noun if the 2nd example sounds more
natural to you you are likely in the
00:40:25
habit of making the common mistake of
using an infinitive after some adjectives
00:40:33
you may remember that
the infinitive form of
00:40:36
a verb is 2 plus its simplest
form as in to do but
00:40:43
think of the adjective plus
prep a zisha in structure as
00:40:47
a signal that some kind of
noun will follow such as
00:40:52
a Geron or noun phrase
not an infinitive verb
00:40:58
Ok so I mentioned the adjectives
interested excited and bored
00:41:05
now let's look at the propositions that
usually come after them listen for the
00:41:12
word that follows interested in the
next example he is interested in
00:41:19
studying abroad the word n.
00:41:23
Is the only preface ition that can
come after the adjective interested I
00:41:30
cannot say for example I am interested
about studying abroad. The good
00:41:36
news is that even though the grammar is
not correct the listener would probably
00:41:42
still understand my meaning Now
listen for the proposition in this
00:41:49
example I am excited about learning
to play the guitar I hope you
00:41:55
noted the prep
00:41:56
a zisha about it almost always follows
the adjective excited finally
00:42:05
listen for the prep
00:42:06
a zisha And in this example they
were bored of staying inside all day
00:42:14
that's right bored of usually
goes together as you can see in
00:42:21
English specific prep
00:42:22
a zisha ans follow specific
adjectives before we go
00:42:29
let's briefly hear what today's example
sound like in the negative form here
00:42:36
are the 3 examples is not interested
in studying abroad he plans to
00:42:43
travel after he finishes school Noemi
was not bored of doing the same job
00:42:51
she learned something new every day I am
not excited about learning to play the
00:42:57
guitar my father is making me do it
can you see how to form the negative
00:43:05
simply add the word not between the b.
00:43:08
Verb and the adjective but keep in
mind that most native English speakers
00:43:15
use contractions so in real life the
sentences would probably sound more
00:43:21
like he's not interested in studying
abroad and Noemi wasn't bored of doing the
00:43:28
same job so what can you do to
practice the grammar we talked about
00:43:35
today. Here's one idea try
to familiarize yourself with
00:43:41
a list of about 20 of the most common
adjectives that are followed by propositions
00:43:49
then listen and look for those
adjectives whenever you hear and read
00:43:55
English ask yourself if the speaker
or writer is using the sentence
00:44:02
structure from today's lesson you
can also practice writing your own
00:44:08
sentences and then use them when
you speak or write English to
00:44:14
friends or practice partners while
today's topic is fresh in your mind
00:44:21
here's
00:44:22
a great way to practice right now
answer 12 or all of these questions
00:44:30
What is your city famous for making
what are you excited about learning
00:44:38
what are you not bored of doing
I am very very interested
00:44:45
in reading your answers I'm Alice Bryant.
00:45:01
Welcome to the making of a nation
American history in v.o.a.
00:45:07
Special English I'm Bob Doty with Steve
member we continue the story of the
00:45:14
administration of Herbert Hoover and
we talk about the election of 1930
00:45:21
to.
00:45:29
60. President Herbert
Hoover worked hard to
00:45:35
rescue the be American economy following
the crash of the stock market it happened
00:45:42
in October of 1929 within
00:45:46
a month Hoover called the nation's business
leaders to the White House don't lower
00:45:53
wages the president told them Hoover
called on the bankers at the Federal
00:46:00
Reserve to make it easier for
businesses to borrow money he tried to
00:46:06
provide funds to help farmers get
fair prices for their crops he
00:46:13
pushed Congress to lower
personal taxes and above all the
00:46:19
president urged Americans not to
lose hope in their economy or in
00:46:26
themselves book The economy
was in ruins falling faster
00:46:33
with each passing day of the crisis that
grew into the Great Depression. The
00:46:40
value of stocks had collapsed
millions of workers lost their jobs
00:46:47
the level of untouched real production in
the country was less than half of what it
00:46:53
had been before the stock market
crash Hoover's efforts were not
00:47:00
enough to stop the growing crisis in
ever greater numbers people called
00:47:07
on the president to increase federal
spending and provide jobs for people
00:47:14
out of work but the president was
00:47:18
a conservative Republican he did not
think it was the responsibility of the
00:47:24
federal government to provide relief
for poor Americans and he thought it
00:47:31
was wrong to increase spending above the
amount of money that the government
00:47:37
received in taxes the situations
seemed out of control the
00:47:44
nation's government than business leaders
appeared to have no idea how to save the
00:47:51
dollar and put people back to work
Hoover was willing to take steps like
00:47:58
spending government money to help
farmers buy seeds and fertilizer but
00:48:05
he was not willing to give wheat to
unemployed workers who were hungry
00:48:12
he created and them urgency committee
to study the unemployment problem
00:48:18
but he would not launch government
programs to create jobs Hoover
00:48:25
called on Americans to help their
friends in need. But he resisted
00:48:32
calls to spend federal funds for
major relief programs to help the
00:48:39
millions of Americans facing
disasters leaders of the
00:48:46
Democratic Party made the most of the
situation they accused the president
00:48:53
of not caring about the common man
they said Hoover was willing to
00:48:59
spend money to feed starving cattle for
businessmen but not willing to feed
00:49:06
poor children Hoover tried to show
the nation that he was dealing
00:49:13
with
00:49:13
a crisis he worked with Congress
to try to save the banks and to
00:49:20
keep the dollar tied to the value of
gold he tried hard to balance the
00:49:27
federal budget and he told Americans
that it was not the responsibility
00:49:34
of the national government
to solve all their problems.
00:49:43
Late in 1931 President Hoover appointed
00:49:48
a new committee on unemployment he
named Walter Gifford to head this
00:49:55
committee Gifford was chief of
00:49:58
a big company American Telephone
and Telegraph but Gifford did
00:50:04
Hoover more harm than good when he
appeared before Congress Gifford
00:50:11
was unable to defend Hoover's
position that relief was the response
00:50:18
ability of local governments and
private giving he admitted that
00:50:25
he did not know how many people were
out of work. He did not know how
00:50:31
many of them needed help or
how much help they needed or
00:50:38
how much money local governments
could raise the situation grew
00:50:45
worse some Americans began to completely
lose faith in their government
00:50:53
they looked to groups with extreme
political ideas to provide answers
00:51:00
some Americans joined the Communist
Party others helped elect state leaders
00:51:06
with extreme political ideas
and in growing numbers people
00:51:13
began to turn to hatred and
violence however most Americans
00:51:20
remained loyal to traditional values
even as conditions grew steadily
00:51:26
worse they looked ahead to
1932 when they would have
00:51:32
a chance to vote for
00:51:35
a new president leaders of the
Democratic Party felt they had an
00:51:41
excellent chance to capture the White
House in the election and their hopes
00:51:47
increased when the Republicans re nominated
President Hoover and vice president
00:51:54
Chiles kurtas in the summer
of 1932 for this reason
00:52:01
competition was fierce for the Democratic
presidential nomination but the top
00:52:07
candidate was Franklin Delano Roosevelt
the governor of New York State
00:52:14
Roosevelt had been reelected
to that office by
00:52:18
a large majority just 2
years earlier he came from
00:52:24
a rich and famous family
but he was seen as
00:52:28
a friend of the common man.
Roosevelt was conservative in his
00:52:35
economic thinking but he was
00:52:37
a progressive in his opinion that government
should be active in helping people
00:52:45
Roosevelt had suffered from polio
and could not walk he used
00:52:51
a wheelchair although it was
really shown in news pictures
00:52:58
Franklin Delano Roosevelt 2 main
opponents were Ausmus and John Garner
00:53:06
Smith had been the governor of
New York before Roosevelt garner
00:53:13
a Texan was the speaker of the House
of Representatives together they hoped
00:53:20
to block Roosevelt's nomination and
they succeeded the 1st 3 times
00:53:26
that delegates voted at the Democratic
nominating convention in Chicago
00:53:33
Roosevelt's chief political adviser James
Farley worked hard to find Roosevelt
00:53:40
the votes he needed at the
convention finally Farley found
00:53:47
a solution he made
00:53:49
a deal with the supporters of John
Garner Roosevelt would make garner the
00:53:56
vice presidential nominee if garners
forces voted to make Roosevelt the
00:54:02
presidential nominee Garner
agreed and on the next vote the
00:54:09
Democratic delegates nominated Franklin
Roosevelt to be their presidential
00:54:14
candidate Al Smith was so angry
about the deal that he left
00:54:20
Chicago without congratulating
Roosevelt Roosevelt wanted to show the
00:54:27
nation that he was the kind of man
to take action. That he had more
00:54:34
imagination than Hoover so he broke
tradition and flew to Chicago
00:54:42
it was the 1st time a candidate had
ever appeared at a convention to accept
00:54:48
a nomination. And Roosevelt told the
cheering crowd that together they
00:54:54
would defeat Hoover.
00:55:03
The main issue in the campaign of
1932 was the economy President
00:55:10
Hoover defended his policies Roosevelt
and the Democrats attacked the
00:55:16
administration for not taking enough
action Roosevelt knew that most
00:55:23
Americans were unhappy with the Hoover
administration so his plan during
00:55:30
the campaign was to let Hoover
defeat himself he avoided saying
00:55:36
anything that might make groups of
voters think he was too extreme but
00:55:43
Roosevelt did make clear that he would
move the federal government into action to
00:55:50
help people suffering from the
economic crisis he said he was for
00:55:57
a balanced federal budget but he
also said the government must be
00:56:04
willing to spend extra money to
prevent people from starving
00:56:11
Americans liked what they heard from
Franklin Roosevelt he seemed strong he
00:56:18
enjoyed life and Roosevelt seemed
willing to try new ideas to
00:56:25
experiment with government. Hoover
attacked Roosevelt bitterly during the
00:56:31
campaign he warned that Roosevelt
and the Democrats would destroy the
00:56:37
American system but Americans were
tired of Hoover they thought he
00:56:44
was too serious too afraid of change
to friendly with business leaders
00:56:51
instead of the working man most of
all they blamed Hoover for the hard
00:56:58
times of the Depression on
Election Day Americans voted in
00:57:05
huge numbers for Franklin Roosevelt
and the Democrats Roosevelt
00:57:11
won 42 of the 48 states at
that time but Democrats also
00:57:18
gained
00:57:19
a large majority in both houses
of Congress the election
00:57:25
ended 12 years of Republican rule in
the White House it also marked the
00:57:32
passing of
00:57:33
a long conservative period in American
political life Franklin Delano
00:57:40
Roosevelt would become one of the strongest
and most progressive presidents in the
00:57:46
nation's history he would serve longer
than any other president changing the
00:57:53
face of America's political
and economic systems.

Pete Musto. In October
00:29:33

a singing group from Moscow to
celebrate the presentation of
00:29:57
a huge statue of the former
leader Chavez had died 3 years
00:30:04
earlier say Chin's visit marked
00:30:07
a turning point in the relationship
between Russia and Venezuela he spoke to
00:30:14
a crowd of government supporters in Spanish
which he learned in his days working
00:30:21
for the Soviet military in
Africa we have no choice between
00:30:28
victory or death said sation
repeating the words of
00:30:33
a Venezuelan independence hero he
was describing the deepening ties
00:30:39
between Russia and Venezuela in their
competition with the United States
00:30:46
we must achieve victory he said now
the us government wants to break up
00:30:53
that growing partnership as part of its
campaign to remove Chavez's replacement
00:31:01
Nicolas Maduro earlier this month the u.s.
00:31:05
Treasury Department barred American
companies from doing business with the rose

Officials have been warning foreign companies
that they could face action if they
00:31:35
continue to do business with Madeira and
his government those warnings have been
00:31:42
directed mainly at Russia. The u.s.
00:31:46
Government made it illegal for Americans
to buy crude oil from Venezuela
00:31:52
a year ago and government officials
say Russia has processed about
00:31:59
70 percent of Venezuelan oil
sales since that time Francisco
00:32:06
is
00:32:07
a Venezuelan oil expert at Rice
University in Houston Texas he told
00:32:14
the Associated Press the latest actions
should cause concern among companies in
00:32:20
countries that continue to partner with
00:32:24
a Venezuelan state
operated oil company p s
00:32:29
a the Us action could also
lead to the ending of
00:32:34
a special license for Chevron
the permit has so far kept the
00:32:40
California based company from having
to pull out of Venezuela Chevron
00:32:47

00:32:48
a partner in joint operations

00:32:55
are responsible for about
00:32:57
a 4th of Venezuela's
total oil production in

a statement vs
00:33:04
a condemned the us government for
what it called economic assassination
00:33:11
aimed at taking control of Venezuela's
oil industry foreign minister
00:33:18
Jorge Arriaga said the new actions
would support Venezuela's case
00:33:25
against the administration of u.s.
00:33:28
President Donald Trump Venezuela is
accusing the administration of crimes
00:33:34
against humanity and is taking the case
to the International Criminal Court.
00:33:41
Rose NAFTA operates several
oil fields with p.d.
00:33:45
Vs say that it has controlled since Chavez's
government forced us companies out of
00:33:52
the country but oil experts say that
as the new go to supplier of the
00:33:58
country's crude oil supplies
Rose NAFTA wins 2 ways 1st
00:34:05
rose NAFTA buys Venezuela's
high quality mat a 16 crude at
00:34:11
a greatly reduced cost it then
uses money from sales of mad
00:34:17
a $16.00 to pay down 6500000000
dollars lent to p.d.
00:34:23
Vs say since 2014 for the purchase
of Russian made weaponry and other
00:34:30
goods to avoid problems for
buyers in China and India Rose
00:34:37
NAFTA has been using oil transport ships
that try to hide what they are carrying
00:34:44
they turn off their required tracking
systems and carry out risky ship
00:34:51
to ship exchanges off the coast
of West Africa and other areas in
00:34:58
the short term Francisco expects Monday
or oh we'll have to pay more to find
00:35:05
someone else to take on the added
risk of moving the country's oil that
00:35:12
means Venezuela will have even less money
to import food and medical supplies
00:35:18
or repair its failing electricity
infrastructure and with storage
00:35:25
centers already full
production that is already at
00:35:29
a 70 year low is likely to fall
even further he added still
00:35:36
nobody expects oil sales from Venezuela
to dry up completely. That is
00:35:43
unless the u.s.
00:35:44
Navy blocks all of the country's
ports the trumpet ministration has
00:35:50
refused to deny it will do so but
has shown no sign of taking that
00:35:57
action the United States leads
00:36:00

that recognize Venezuelan opposition

00:39:32
Noemi was bored of doing the same
job Noemi was bored to do the same
00:39:39
job. Hopefully the 1st sentence
sounds more natural to you
00:39:46
if so your ears are probably accustomed
to hearing the structure we are exploring
00:39:52
today b.
00:39:54
Plus adjective plus proposition
plus Jr and in the sentence
00:40:01
was is the verb of being bored
is the adjective of is the
00:40:07
proposition and doing is the Geron
and you may remember that a Geron is
00:40:14
a verb form that ends
and i n g and acts as
00:40:18
a noun if the 2nd example sounds more
natural to you you are likely in the
00:40:25
habit of making the common mistake of
using an infinitive after some adjectives
00:40:33
you may remember that
the infinitive form of
00:40:36
a verb is 2 plus its simplest
form as in to do but
00:40:43
think of the adjective plus
prep a zisha in structure as
00:40:47
a signal that some kind of
noun will follow such as
00:40:52
a Geron or noun phrase
not an infinitive verb
00:40:58
Ok so I mentioned the adjectives
interested excited and bored
00:41:05
now let's look at the propositions that
usually come after them listen for the
00:41:12
word that follows interested in the
next example he is interested in
00:41:19
studying abroad the word n.
00:41:23
Is the only preface ition that can
come after the adjective interested I
00:41:30
cannot say for example I am interested
about studying abroad. The good
00:41:36
news is that even though the grammar is
not correct the listener would probably
00:41:42
still understand my meaning Now
listen for the proposition in this
00:41:49
example I am excited about learning
to play the guitar I hope you
00:41:55
noted the prep
00:41:56
a zisha about it almost always follows
the adjective excited finally
00:42:05
listen for the prep
00:42:06
a zisha And in this example they
were bored of staying inside all day
00:42:14
that's right bored of usually
goes together as you can see in
00:42:21
English specific prep
00:42:22
a zisha ans follow specific
adjectives before we go
00:42:29
let's briefly hear what today's example
sound like in the negative form here
00:42:36
are the 3 examples is not interested
in studying abroad he plans to
00:42:43
travel after he finishes school Noemi
was not bored of doing the same job
00:42:51
she learned something new every day I am
not excited about learning to play the
00:42:57
guitar my father is making me do it
can you see how to form the negative
00:43:05
simply add the word not between the b.
00:43:08
Verb and the adjective but keep in
mind that most native English speakers
00:43:15
use contractions so in real life the
sentences would probably sound more
00:43:21
like he's not interested in studying
abroad and Noemi wasn't bored of doing the
00:43:28
same job so what can you do to
practice the grammar we talked about
00:43:35
today. Here's one idea try
to familiarize yourself with
00:43:41
a list of about 20 of the most common
adjectives that are followed by propositions
00:43:49
then listen and look for those
adjectives whenever you hear and read
00:43:55
English ask yourself if the speaker
or writer is using the sentence
00:44:02
structure from today's lesson you
can also practice writing your own
00:44:08
sentences and then use them when
you speak or write English to
00:44:14
friends or practice partners while
today's topic is fresh in your mind
00:44:21
here's
00:44:22
a great way to practice right now
answer 12 or all of these questions
00:44:30
What is your city famous for making
what are you excited about learning
00:44:38
what are you not bored of doing
I am very very interested
00:44:45
in reading your answers I'm Alice Bryant.
00:45:01
Welcome to the making of a nation
American history in v.o.a.
00:45:07
Special English I'm Bob Doty with Steve
member we continue the story of the
00:45:14
administration of Herbert Hoover and
we talk about the election of 1930
00:45:21
to.
00:45:29
60. President Herbert
Hoover worked hard to
00:45:35
rescue the be American economy following
the crash of the stock market it happened
00:45:42
in October of 1929 within
00:45:46
a month Hoover called the nation's business
leaders to the White House don't lower
00:45:53
wages the president told them Hoover
called on the bankers at the Federal
00:46:00
Reserve to make it easier for
businesses to borrow money he tried to
00:46:06
provide funds to help farmers get
fair prices for their crops he
00:46:13
pushed Congress to lower
personal taxes and above all the
00:46:19
president urged Americans not to
lose hope in their economy or in
00:46:26
themselves book The economy
was in ruins falling faster
00:46:33
with each passing day of the crisis that
grew into the Great Depression. The
00:46:40
value of stocks had collapsed
millions of workers lost their jobs
00:46:47
the level of untouched real production in
the country was less than half of what it
00:46:53
had been before the stock market
crash Hoover's efforts were not
00:47:00
enough to stop the growing crisis in
ever greater numbers people called
00:47:07
on the president to increase federal
spending and provide jobs for people
00:47:14
out of work but the president was
00:47:18
a conservative Republican he did not
think it was the responsibility of the
00:47:24
federal government to provide relief
for poor Americans and he thought it
00:47:31
was wrong to increase spending above the
amount of money that the government
00:47:37
received in taxes the situations
seemed out of control the
00:47:44
nation's government than business leaders
appeared to have no idea how to save the
00:47:51
dollar and put people back to work
Hoover was willing to take steps like
00:47:58
spending government money to help
farmers buy seeds and fertilizer but
00:48:05
he was not willing to give wheat to
unemployed workers who were hungry
00:48:12
he created and them urgency committee
to study the unemployment problem
00:48:18
but he would not launch government
programs to create jobs Hoover
00:48:25
called on Americans to help their
friends in need. But he resisted
00:48:32
calls to spend federal funds for
major relief programs to help the
00:48:39
millions of Americans facing
disasters leaders of the
00:48:46
Democratic Party made the most of the
situation they accused the president
00:48:53
of not caring about the common man
they said Hoover was willing to
00:48:59
spend money to feed starving cattle for
businessmen but not willing to feed
00:49:06
poor children Hoover tried to show
the nation that he was dealing
00:49:13
with
00:49:13
a crisis he worked with Congress
to try to save the banks and to
00:49:20
keep the dollar tied to the value of
gold he tried hard to balance the
00:49:27
federal budget and he told Americans
that it was not the responsibility
00:49:34
of the national government
to solve all their problems.
00:49:43
Late in 1931 President Hoover appointed
00:49:48
a new committee on unemployment he
named Walter Gifford to head this
00:49:55
committee Gifford was chief of
00:49:58
a big company American Telephone
and Telegraph but Gifford did
00:50:04
Hoover more harm than good when he
appeared before Congress Gifford
00:50:11
was unable to defend Hoover's
position that relief was the response
00:50:18
ability of local governments and
private giving he admitted that
00:50:25
he did not know how many people were
out of work. He did not know how
00:50:31
many of them needed help or
how much help they needed or
00:50:38
how much money local governments
could raise the situation grew
00:50:45
worse some Americans began to completely
lose faith in their government
00:50:53
they looked to groups with extreme
political ideas to provide answers
00:51:00
some Americans joined the Communist
Party others helped elect state leaders
00:51:06
with extreme political ideas
and in growing numbers people
00:51:13
began to turn to hatred and
violence however most Americans
00:51:20
remained loyal to traditional values
even as conditions grew steadily
00:51:26
worse they looked ahead to
1932 when they would have
00:51:32
a chance to vote for
00:51:35
a new president leaders of the
Democratic Party felt they had an
00:51:41
excellent chance to capture the White
House in the election and their hopes
00:51:47
increased when the Republicans re nominated
President Hoover and vice president
00:51:54
Chiles kurtas in the summer
of 1932 for this reason
00:52:01
competition was fierce for the Democratic
presidential nomination but the top
00:52:07
candidate was Franklin Delano Roosevelt
the governor of New York State
00:52:14
Roosevelt had been reelected
to that office by
00:52:18
a large majority just 2
years earlier he came from
00:52:24
a rich and famous family
but he was seen as
00:52:28
a friend of the common man.
Roosevelt was conservative in his
00:52:35
economic thinking but he was
00:52:37
a progressive in his opinion that government
should be active in helping people
00:52:45
Roosevelt had suffered from polio
and could not walk he used
00:52:51
a wheelchair although it was
really shown in news pictures
00:52:58
Franklin Delano Roosevelt 2 main
opponents were Ausmus and John Garner
00:53:06
Smith had been the governor of
New York before Roosevelt garner
00:53:13
a Texan was the speaker of the House
of Representatives together they hoped
00:53:20
to block Roosevelt's nomination and
they succeeded the 1st 3 times
00:53:26
that delegates voted at the Democratic
nominating convention in Chicago
00:53:33
Roosevelt's chief political adviser James
Farley worked hard to find Roosevelt
00:53:40
the votes he needed at the
convention finally Farley found
00:53:47
a solution he made
00:53:49
a deal with the supporters of John
Garner Roosevelt would make garner the
00:53:56
vice presidential nominee if garners
forces voted to make Roosevelt the
00:54:02
presidential nominee Garner
agreed and on the next vote the
00:54:09
Democratic delegates nominated Franklin
Roosevelt to be their presidential
00:54:14
candidate Al Smith was so angry
about the deal that he left
00:54:20
Chicago without congratulating
Roosevelt Roosevelt wanted to show the
00:54:27
nation that he was the kind of man
to take action. That he had more
00:54:34
imagination than Hoover so he broke
tradition and flew to Chicago
00:54:42
it was the 1st time a candidate had
ever appeared at a convention to accept
00:54:48
a nomination. And Roosevelt told the
cheering crowd that together they
00:54:54
would defeat Hoover.
00:55:03
The main issue in the campaign of
1932 was the economy President
00:55:10
Hoover defended his policies Roosevelt
and the Democrats attacked the
00:55:16
administration for not taking enough
action Roosevelt knew that most
00:55:23
Americans were unhappy with the Hoover
administration so his plan during
00:55:30
the campaign was to let Hoover
defeat himself he avoided saying
00:55:36
anything that might make groups of
voters think he was too extreme but
00:55:43
Roosevelt did make clear that he would
move the federal government into action to
00:55:50
help people suffering from the
economic crisis he said he was for
00:55:57
a balanced federal budget but he
also said the government must be
00:56:04
willing to spend extra money to
prevent people from starving
00:56:11
Americans liked what they heard from
Franklin Roosevelt he seemed strong he
00:56:18
enjoyed life and Roosevelt seemed
willing to try new ideas to
00:56:25
experiment with government. Hoover
attacked Roosevelt bitterly during the
00:56:31
campaign he warned that Roosevelt
and the Democrats would destroy the
00:56:37
American system but Americans were
tired of Hoover they thought he
00:56:44
was too serious too afraid of change
to friendly with business leaders
00:56:51
instead of the working man most of
all they blamed Hoover for the hard
00:56:58
times of the Depression on
Election Day Americans voted in
00:57:05
huge numbers for Franklin Roosevelt
and the Democrats Roosevelt
00:57:11
won 42 of the 48 states at
that time but Democrats also
00:57:18
gained
00:57:19
a large majority in both houses
of Congress the election
00:57:25
ended 12 years of Republican rule in
the White House it also marked the
00:57:32
passing of
00:57:33
a long conservative period in American
political life Franklin Delano
00:57:40
Roosevelt would become one of the strongest
and most progressive presidents in the
00:57:46
nation's history he would serve longer
than any other president changing the
00:57:53
face of America's political
and economic systems.
